Pie

Just before Thanksgiving I asked my kids what kind of pie they would like. Payton asked for chocolate or cherry and Cole asked for

Fruit Snack Pie. I told Cole I didn't know how to make fruit snack pie and asked him to pick something else. Nope! Fruit snack pie was all he wanted. Here is Cole's recipe just in case you want some too:

1 slice of cheese

2 slices of turkey

1 packet of Spider man fruit snacks

Roll it up and enjoy!

Cole thought it was so yummy he ate two pieces of fruit snack pie!

Trick or Treat

This year Payton was 100% sure about his costume choice, Obi Wan Kenobi. Cole changed his mind a zillion times. Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Woody (from Toy Story), Jessie (from Toy Story), Batman, Darth Vadar, Yoda a super hero.... his final choice... Indiana Jones. They were both super excited to go trick or treating! Every year we go to our church for Trunk or Treat. I think the boys have as much fun playing with all their friends as getting lots of candy.

Cole's bucket started to get a little heavy and he was finished. He went to help Brian pass out candy.

The boys love to dump out all their candy and find their favorites.

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving

Our family loves the annual pumpkin carving. Payton had a great time cutting lots of wholes in his pumpkin.
Cole wanted nothing to do with touching the insides.

Payton loved diggin' out the guts!

What would pumpkin carving be without power tools!

Cole was so proud of his finished pumpkin.

Pumpkinolgy

Payton's 1st Grade class did a fun Halloween science project last week.

I was lucky enough to help.

The Project: measure the handle, measure the circumference, count the seeds and carve a face.
It was so much fun!

Pumpkin Picking

A couple Saturdays ago we made our annual trip to the orchard to pick some pumpkins. This was our best year yet. There were a lot more pumpkins than usual. The boys lined up a bunch of pumpkins and finally picked their favorites!

The kids loved running through the orchard. It's a great way for my crazy boys to get out some extra energy!

Fall Fun

I love fall! It's a little difficult to enjoy all the beauty of the season in the middle of the desert. We were lucky enough to find some colors of autumn at the Bellagio. The kids were amazed with all the giant pumpkins!
